Le Luz is a productive river in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, flowing through the scenic foothills of the French Pyrenees between its lower and middle stretches. The waterway supports excellent populations of carp, catfish, zander, pike, bream, and perch, offering diverse fishing opportunities for both coarse and predatory species throughout the year. Night fishing is permitted, and the river welcomes anglers with boat access and camping facilities, making it ideal for extended fishing trips; however, a valid Carte de Peche annual licence from the local AAPPMA is required to fish these waters.
